Apple's iPad vs. e-readers
Apple's iPad is a multi-function device that focuses on multimedia and some productivity apps, but also functions as an e-reader with a new iBook store of EPub format books.
2010: Year of the E-reader

Is it a device (tablet or otherwise) that has an LCD screen? Or does software turn any device into an e-Reader?

As the Maserati or BMW of laptops, it would fit perfectly in the hands of a professional needing firepower under the hood, sophistication and class on the surface, and gaming prowess (sports mode if you will) in between.
